Irish fans angry at Brian O’Driscoll’s axing from the Lions have bet tens of thousands of euro on Australia to win the Test decider tomorrow.

Bookies have only seen a sliver of cash on Warren Gatland’s men after he dropped the Irish centre.

Before the series started the Lions were 8-11 favourites to win the series with the Wallabies at 11-10.

Now Paddy Power said the tourists have slipped to 11-10 to clinch the series whilst Australia are at 10-11.

Paddy Power has taken around €87,000 from punters in Ireland and the UK on outright bets alone, while a flurry of late wagers expected on the home side today.

The bookies have taken more than €35,000 in match betting on the final game, with more than 75% of all stakes placed on Australia.

But they don’t think it’ll be the end of BOD’s Lions’ journey and offer 33-1 that he’ll coach the Lions in 2017.

Gatland has turned his back on the Irishman

Spokesman Sebastian Bell said: “In BOD we trust is obviously not a mantra for Warren Gatland.

“We think it could make quite a difference for the Lions, particularly late on in what will be a tight and nervy game.” Boylesports had only received a fraction of bets on the Wallabies until Gatland’s controversial selection.

Spokesman Leon Blanche said: “Nearly all the bets we’ve seen since the announcement has been on the Wallabies.

“We would have seen tiny amounts backing the Aussies until O’Driscoll was dropped. But now we’re looking at over €100,000 on Australia to win the series in Sydney.

“It looks as though punters have decided to bet with their heads and not with their hearts with rugby pundits saying there is no clear leader on the pitch since BOD went.”

Meanwhile, more than 110,000 people have supported a Justice For BOD Facebook page after the iconic centre was dropped from the Third Test squad.
